I made my famous Eclaire Cake for mom's birthday recently and when I saw all the Facebook comments, I realized I need to give credit where credit is due: Nancy Bonnette. She gave me my first eclaire cake upon Marj's birth. She then gave me the recipe and never made it again, wise woman that she was. She retired.-Anyhoo.... I've decided to pass it on, in memory of her, please label it with her name if you use it. She was the world's second greatest Nana and I lovingly called her my "faux nana." She died this past year and I just remembered I still have a key to her house "in case something happened." Three months after she died, I passed her house on my way to the big city. I jumped when I noticed the flag was up on her mailbox. Freaky. Did she leave mail in there? Has it been up since she died? Is it a message for me to stop? etc. While I was having all these thoughts, my cell phone rang and I ignored it because I was knee deep in grief. When I glanced at caller ID, it saidNancy Bonnette.Honest. I absolutely freaked. She died three months previously, her flag was up and she was calling me. AND I screened her call!!!!! Idiot.Again: Anyhoo......
